• It as a long day at work today. Went in at 7:30 a.m. and left shortly after 8 p.m. Tempted as I was, I did not grab drive-thru fast food on the way home. I had bought a couple of ribeye steaks on sale and I cooked them up tonight, throwing a couple potatoes in the microwave and tossing together a fresh salad while those cooked. It was a nice dinner and didn't take a whole lot of effort to cook.

  A couple of nice things did happen today amongst the hubbub at work - daughter #2 called to chat. It was short, but nice to hear her voice and just talk for no real reason. Also, my old housekeeper came in to buy something. She had quit not long after starting for me because she had to have surgery. This was months and months ago (like 9 or 10). After talking with her for a little bit, she said she just wasn't able to climb stairs for a long time (which I understand). She is going to be coming back to work for me, so there is a little relief in the stress factor there. It was so nice when she was cleaning the house before because she always did it right before the weekend and we got to have a nice clean house over the weekend. She has Friday mornings open now. I want to jump for joy over this. She'll call me next week to work out a schedule. Even if she only comes every other week, it will still be great to have someone do the stuff I never manage to find time for (like practically everything!).

  The hubbub will continue tomorrow as we have employee training in the morning. One of the wireless companies is rolling out a new product that I have to train all the employees on. It's going to be fantastic and I'm really excited about it. I also have to deal with a mother who is upset that one of my employees was rude to her college-aged son who kept calling every couple of hours to see if his computer was ready. He had gigs and gigs of files he wants transferred from an old computer to a new one. My employee told him we would indeed call him when it was finished. I guess he thought that was rude. She will be in tomorrow afternoon and wishes to speak to the owner. Bah! If she thinks my employee was rude, she ain't seen nothing if she gets my backside up over something stupid - like maybe she raised her son with no manners. We'll see.

  Tomorrow daughter #1 finds out the sex of their baby. They are hoping it's a boy, and I've felt all along it is a boy. We'll see. They already have a boy name picked out. Last I talked to them, they had changed their mind on the girl name. Her sister is anxious to find out what it is, too. She was telling me tonight it seems like they had Daughter #1 go much longer than she did to find out the sex. I guess Daughter #1 is currently at 24 weeks and Daughter #2 got to find out the sex of her baby at 18 weeks.

  I'm off to swill some Ny-Quil and hit the bed. I already took a Mucinex to see if it will help loosen the very thick phlegm I'm getting with this one (and it's only day 2).
